Bye Bye Brace...
After 18 months of wearing this brace (at night) we recieved the good news that Abigail will no longer have to wear it!
Our visit to Scottish Rite Hospital on Wednesday went as expected. The doctor is pleased with her progress. They will continue to monitor her growth & progress and treat any issues they feel would benefit her. As we have known all along, her left foot/leg is not a strong as her right. Along with her neurosurgeon we will wait to see what, if anything, can be done to help.
Today is Abbey's 2nd birthday! This amazing child continues to shine and brings us much joy everyday. Although I will say her two-year old attitude is kicking in!
Check back soon to see pictures of her ALL ELMO birthday party!

SO bad at blogging...
Sorry for being so lax about blogging...too much going on as you can imagine!
Please help us welcome our latest blessing:
Audrey Jane Deller
Born: August 28, 2008 @ 10:09 am
8 lbs 1 oz - 20 inches
We're all doing great! It's complete chaos & totally crazy but I LOVE it!
After only a week Audrey was back to her birth weight, after two weeks she's already gained 12 ounces! We go to the doctor tomorrow for a weight check and shot :( - I can't wait to see how much she weighs now! She's a good eater & great sleeper - maybe she can give her sisters some tips!
Here are a few more picts from the day she was born, I promise to upload more recent ones sooner than later!

More Pink to Come...
For those of you that have not heard by now, we are expecting another girl in early September. My actual due date is Sept 7, but if history holds, I expect to have her around Aug 11.
Here is a picture of our growing family from Easter Sunday!

We're Alive!
I apologize it's been 6 months (I really wrote this when it was only 3 months, but it's taken me another 3 to get back here!)...the last quarter of 2007 was killer for me / my job - I've never been so busy in my 17 1/2 years with this company. Having 2 full-time jobs truly eats my lunch. I pretty much feel like I'm failing at one of them daily.
Let me catch you up...
Amanda started Mothers Day Out in Sept of 2007 - 2 days a week & she loves it. She's the only child in her class (14) who doesn't nap...however most days she comes home & sleeps a little, thank goodness otherwise she is a total bear. She's fighting to give up that daily nap, a battle she won't win. She's also doing very well with potty training. We don't push her and more and more she decides she wants to go on her own...yeah! She can crawl out of her bed, but usually doesn't. We have plans to move her to a big girl bed in early summer.
Abbey started pulling up in early October - just before her 1st birthday. She's been sick since about the same time - nothing life-threatening, fairly normal little kid stuff, but it's been a long winter and we're ready for spring. Just before Thanksgiving, Abbey said her first word "bubble" - clear as a bell; it's still one of her favorite words. She really staring communicating after that, she learned some basic sign language and all your favorite animal sounds...our favorite is what a lizard says, which isn't a sound at all but something you have to see to fully appreciate! She does not yet walk on her own, but will "cruise" along the couch or behind a chair or toy w/ wheels. Her doctors have said all along that she would be closer to age 2 to walk so we are not worried. All of her specialist think she's doing great. Music to our ears! We escaped her first year with zero surgeries (we anticipated at least 3) and are forever grateful to those of you who continue to pray for her - it's working!
John and I are keeping busy with our jobs and raising these beautiful girls. Trying to schedule a family vacation this summer and finally do something with our back yard (you know us, always a house project going on!) I'll do my best to get some pictures uploaded soon - hopefully it won't take me 6 months! Thanks to all of you who continue to check this site for updates on our family. Much love - Jill, John, Amanda & Abbey
